I'm an Original Member, so many of my past swaps from long ago appear as "uncategorized" rather than type 1, 2, or 3.If you scroll through my old swaps, you can see that most would have been Type 3.

Hi, I'm Kelly. I live in NW Florida and homeschool my 3 kids, who are 12, 8, and 6. We use a mix of Montessori with some Charlotte Mason. We like hands on learning materials and lot of outdoor time- tree climbing, beachcombing, hiking, kayaking, etc.

I spend my free time creating in many different media. I am always in a middle of several projects and already thinking about the next one.

I am also learning Japanese.

The Secret Garden, Harry Potter series, Outlander series, Jane Austin, Roller Girl (Tween graphic novel that everyone should read!) historical fiction in general, the manga series Fruits Basket

I am currently watching Call the Midwife and The Blacklist.

I have also watched the entire series of Friends, X-Files, Gilmore Girls, Stranger Things, Wings (old 90s show), and Caroline in the City (another old 90s show).

woodworking, glass beadmaking, watercolor painting, bookbinding, photography, Dotee dolls (does anyone still make these??), hand-carved stamps, bookbinding, needlefelting, sewing, Postcrossing,

nature and the outdoors, forest animals, chocolate, postcards, playing cards with fun backs (single or decks), glass beads, chapstick (lip balm), bookbinding supplies, handmade books, postcards, stickers, wood toys, fabric, polymer clay charms,

I like things related to water (oceans, ponds, boats, frogs, etc), food (especially tacos, cookies, chocolate, or Kawaii doodles of food), pregnancy/childbirth related things, Girl Scout stuff...

My favorite animals are rabbits, cats, chickens, owls, elephants, foxes, and frogs.

I also enjoy receiving things for my kids. They like Kawaii stationary and stickers, postcards from around the world, animal related things (especially hamsters and cats), mushroom related things, and miniature things (like dollhouse-sized trinkets).

DISNEY, dogs, coffee, coconut, artificial sweeteners, politics, generic/inspirational quotes, religious things. Quotes are completely wasted on me. I don't even read my teabags! :)

I much prefer postcards over note cards. I love postcards with long messages and prefer that they be send naked (no envelope), because I love a good postmark and unique stamps. I'm not a fan of quotes. See my likes above for ideas :)

My favorite teas are green teas with fruit. I'll take any teas though, as between the 5 members of my family, someone will like just about anything.
